First Look: New TARDIS Control Room From Doctor Who’s Christmas Special

Publicity images for this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special, The Snowmen have revealed that the TARDIS is looking pretty battered and bruised on the outside right now, and if a new picture is anything to go by, it’s possibly her new look rather than symptomatic of damage.

Maybe she’s having the TARDIS equivalent of a sweatpants day. Would suit the Doctor’s grumpy, scroogey mood.

Because, coincidental to that new look on the outside, there’s a new look on the inside.

The BBC have issued this teasing look at part of the new console.

A rough cut of The Snowmen was screened at the BBC tonight. Spoilers are thin on the ground – which is all for the good – but the odd little bit is trickling out. So far, the most important detail, I think, is that this episode apparently goes out of its way to make it clear that Madame Vastra and Jenny are a couple.

The episode is apparently full of big reveals and does a good job of setting up hooks for the remaining episodes of the series. Okay, that’s cool. Here’s hoping it also works as a standalone story.
